I'll be glad to take it off your hands for, oh let's say $500

I sold my on eBay - for a nice profit. Hang on to it for Christmas and you
will likely get even more than I did.

I never ordered one, mainly because of the price, but also because I wasn't
sure I cared for the unusual proportions. If you ordered yours purely as an
investment, it shouldn't matter what it looks like. Otherwise, maybe you
should have checked one out in the flesh at a dealer or show to see if it
pleased you. Regardless, I doubt you'll have a problem getting your money
back.

It is small I'd really like to see the same design in a two ounce coin.
I'm very pleased w/ my early release UHR coin. It's also a great
presentation.
I haven't opened the book package.

The mint, in its infinite wisdom, would probably use the same dies and
strike it as a piedfort!

The Mint stuck this coin in the same diameter and thickness but with
less purity than the original die trials. These few are at the
Smithsonian. It was decided by the Mint to strike the production high
relief versions the same diameter as previously struck double eagles.

As they say, "good things come in small packages." I'm quite pleased
with mine.
